Racebannon Show Review – 4/26/12 The Haunt – Ithaca, NY
30 people in attendance, 300 decibels. That’s an appropriate way to sum up Racebannon’s performance at The Haunt last Thursday. Diligently working to bring some of the finest in underground music to the 607 area code, Bubba and Ithaca Underground presented the Indiana based noise group to a modest crowd, but that didn’t stop the … Read more
“Greg’s 10″ Interview with… CLUTCH!
Chevy Celebrity. 1983. Not nearly as cool as the vehicle described on “Spacegrass,” my introduction to Clutch back in high school, but it got me around. A staple on the Top 9 at 9 on K-Rock for months, a buddy of mine and I would hop into my ride, pack a bowl, and anxiously await … Read more

FEATURED BAND: IT’S A DINOSAUR!
Niagara Falls own It’s a Dinosaur! is a progressive metal band. Or as the band describes themselves, ”a cohesive clusterfuck.” This explains It’s a Dinosaur! in a nutshell, but in the best possible way. Spastic, well played, diverse and, rarely enough in today’s metal, unique songs counteract a drab, boring and otherwise lifeless glut of … Read more
REVIEW: COMMON ENEMY “As the World Burns”
As the World Burns, the 5th full length offering from Reading, Pa’s ever vigilant Common Enemy shows no signs of slowing down and indeed finds the band even more the master of their excellent brand of thrashy punk rock than they were on Living the Dream. And that’s saying a lot. The 16 concise, angry, … Read more
BIOHAZARD discusses touring, release of “Reborn in Defiance”
Admittedly, I was first exposed to Biohazard when Beavis and Butthead were rocking out to “Punishment” during one of their old school episodes. No problems, there… That show kicked ass (huh huh.) Since that day, I have always followed the band and checked out their albums. I picked up a limited copy of Urban Discipline … Read more
REVIEW: Autopsy “All Tomorrow’s Funerals”
From 1987 through 1995, it would be difficult to find a more pronounced and influential Death Metal band than Autopsy.
